#15:

I’ve personally heard many Gedolei Yisroel shlita, acknowledged as such by all, insult the RCA in harsher terms than any comment here.

What about the hypocrisy of YWN in reporting this?

The RCA is the largest organization of Orthodox Rabbonim in the US. Among its members, it has many Rabbonim who are recognized as being huge gedolim, such as R’ Schachter and R’ Willig. To insult such an organization, and allow comments such as #12, which claim the RCA is a disgrace, is an insult to these gedolim.

It’s funny how all the complaints I read about the letter are coming from people posting on the internet, or from Pinny Lipschutz writing in his tabloid rag. I haven’t heard yet any Rabbonim saying anything about the RCA. If the Rabbonim aren’t attacking this great organization, why do you feel you have the right?

2-3 years in Nachal Hareidi is not Meir’keh.
40 years trapped in poverty is Gevald! Meir’keh! Meir’keh!

All Gedolim agree on the seriousness of the gezeira and the thrust of the rally, the disagreement is a matter of tactics.
A point, by the way, that has been made over and over.

Very well written editorial. I agree that the RCA disgraced (and continues to disgrace)itself.
I also agree with #2 (Yoylish) that YWN disgraced itself during their “coverage” (spin)of the peaceful Kiddush Hashem event that took place in Manhattan in honor of HKB”H Torah.

I still dont get it. Learn Torah while you are in the army. Spread Torah in the army. Learn Torah on the way to work. Whats the big deal? Dont Jews do this in other counties?

One very important point in this up-ed which maybe missed in the full context.

“IF IT HURTS YOU SCREAM” you don’t start to rationalize if it has manners or something else.

This is not a duplicate posting. Seems my initial lengthy posting has been taken down. And I cleared it with a recognized Posek first. Wow.

I seriously doubt that the above-cited Gedolim would have endorse the rally, if they had been aware of what I just posted.
